Disappointingly, Google doesn’t distribute the messages in these newsgroups beyond its own server, so you can’t read the boards in your newsgroup program. The groups might appear in your newsgroup program, and you might be able to subscribe to them, but no messages are displayed. Likewise, messages you post using your newsgroup program, through your ISP’s Usenet server, do not appear on the boards on Google’s end. The point of all this is that to read and participate in these groups, use the links Google provides and stick to Google’s server. See Chapter 4 for information about Usenet newsgroups and Google Groups.
